By far the best vehicle I have ever owned is my current '95 4Runner, which shares a power train with the Tacoma. It has the 2.3 litre and a 5 speed with no air. E.P.A. claimed 28 mpg and it gets it unless the weather is cold, I run a lot in 4WD, or it is towing something bulky. It has never been back to the dealership. A friend who is a GM service tech has looked after the truck since it was new. With minor maintenance to the body (annual paint touch-ups, windshield frame resurfacing, back gate replaced under warranty)it is still in very good condition after 312,000 km. The problem is that there is nothing out there now with which to replace it. I don't want an automatic with 245 hp and a big thirst for fuel. I had hopes for the FJ Cruiser scheduled to come out in January, but it looks as though it will be another yuppie toy. Maybe they'll sell a stripped down version as a loss leader.
